I remember after her DNC speech, NPR put out an article listing all the misleading things in her speech and #1 was that she said Trump will jail journalists, and the article linked to a tweet of Trump saying "dishonest" journalists should be jailed but she's still being misleading because it wasn't actually a part of his official campaign platform.
No similar article existed for his RNC speech. Having preferred NPR for years, that moment made me realize just how hard the media failed the country.
I was a supporter of my local NPR station for decades. It's crazy how far right the coverage has gone. Slowly over the years, then really hard in recent months. It's like they're desperately trying to show that they aren't left leaning, by going way the other way. I've heard long interviews with wackos from things like The Heritage Foundation all the time, with little to no pushback on the BS. I watched a magat congressman interviewed on PBS the other night with zero pushback to his bullshit magat talking points. The list goes on. I stopped watching/listening to them, but I've been kind of at a loss as to where to check up on news. AP or Reuters is about it, I guess.
